[JR: You can submit your news online to Jasper Jottings too. And, I know the Alumni Office “poaches”. LOL! If if they don’t like competition for your eyeball, it does keep them on their toes. Of email: jasper at reinke dot c(harlie) c(charlie). It’s a domain from the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. At one time, it was important to have my name. Do all fat old white guy injineer”s have big egos? And the “Reinke Pivot Irrigator” of Nebraska beat me to reinke dot com by a few hours. Another gold rush I missed. Argh!]
